I'm vouching for Sveinn as he's already been in contact with Karl Ove 
Huftehammer (the Norwegian Nynorsk coordinator and translator of 
Mandriva, he's also involved in the translation of KDE and Skolelinux) 
and me, the new Norwegian Bokmål coordinator, effectively taking over 
all the tasks Per Øyvind Karlsen did, previously only a translator, but 
now the lot  ( > and here comes a trivia, Per Øyvind and me are from the 
same place and have worked on the Norwegian translation of 
OpenOffice.org together, in a physical office, nevertheless ), I'm still 
working on the translation team for Norwegian OpenOffice.org. I think 
you should also vouch for him so he get a subversion account as soon as 
possible.


Best regards
